Ask HN: How have you recovered from repeated job losses

2 points by brailsafe ↗ HN
This goes for the emotional, social, or professional tolls, particularly in those situations where the job loss was a result of burnout or your own actions and where your sense of self or motivation was deeply affected. I'd be curious as well about how a layoff might have affected those outcomes.

If you haven't recovered, please share your story as well :)

I once packed up and moved to another city to try and help get over this.

Ultimately I think the only way to really get over it is to seek some counselling.

Losing a job is hard. Losing jobs repeatedly is really really hard. Don't face that challenge alone if you can help it.

Did you find that counselling helped?
